Have you ever gone into a relationship thinking you could change that person more to your liking?

@PoetryNEmotion WELL SAID! I feel that I have finally come to really KNOW what love and friendship truly mean in my old age...we always think we know what they are but actually do not...until we do..and one thing love truly is is acceptance...not of bad or abusive behaviors but loving the person to the core even with their flaws

@PoetryNEmotion Absolutely right. 👍🏼

@MeInCharge Even if they believe they want to, it generally has to come from within or things get controlling and weird, and there's often resentment. That's why it usually doesn't work. 🙁

@bijouxbroussard I don't disagree with you. But love often overrides reason.

@bijouxbroussard and that resentment almost always rears it's ugly head

@SW-User yuh...you are.

hilarious isn't it

@megrose It was still a hard lesson though, I'm sure.

@MeInCharge absolutely, the hardest part being the price our children had to pay emotionally.

@Stark infatuation blinds us to reality

@Fernie I agree.

@SW-User OK, but what if they're a slob. You're not going to get them to pick up after themselves?

@MeInCharge well I guess I wouldn't be with a slob in the first place. I don't believe in changing people I think you have to adapt to one another's differences and if you can't, your relationship won't work
